Is Empired under- or over-valued?
Valuing Empired stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Empired 's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Empired 's P/E ratio
Empired 's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 22x. In other words, Empired shares trade at around 22x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the P/E ratio for the ASX over the 12 months to December 2019 (32.14). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Empired 's EBITDA
Empired 's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $10.8 million (£0.0 million).
The EBITDA is a measure of a Empired 's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Empired share dividends
Dividend payout ratio: 21.43% of net profits
Recently Empired has paid out, on average, around 21.43% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.88% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Empired shareholders could enjoy a 1.88% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Empired 's case, that would currently equate to about A$0.015 per share.
While Empired 's payout ratio might seem low, this can signify that Empired is investing more in its future growth.
The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 3 March 2021 (the "ex-dividend date").
Empired share price volatility
Over the last 12 months, Empired 's shares have ranged in value from as little as $0.6324 up to $1.355. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (AU average) beta is 1, while Empired 's is 1.6185. This would suggest that Empired 's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
